Cell phone spy software is designed for monitoring your children or employees on a phone you own or have proper consent to monitor. In most cases, you are required to notify users of the phone that they are being monitored. If you attempt to use spy software to monitor a mobile phone you do not own or have proper written consent to do so by the owner of the phone, you may be breaking federal and state laws. Check all local, state and federal laws before installing any spy software.
Spy software must not be used to ‘Stalk’ anyone. Spy software must not be used to monitor the smartphone of a spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, child over 18 without their written consent.
To further elaborate the written consent must include the monitored person or owner of the phone giving permission to the buyer of the spy software to track their text messages, call log, emails, appointments, Geo Location, photos, videos, contacts, browsing history, bookmarks, Instant Messenger and listen to their recorded calls at any time.
iOS Jailbreaking
If you are looking to install spy software onto an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch), you must jailbreak the device. Spy software is impossible to install onto an iPhone unless it has been jailbroken. Jailbreaking is not illegal but it does void your Apple warranty.
Updating iOS
In case your target phone user updates the iPhone to the new iOS version, you can reinstall spy software on the device again provided that the target iPhone has been jailbroken. If the is no Jailbreak option for the latest iOS, spy software will NOT run on that iPhone.
